- What is a wiki? Best known wiki is Wikipedia

- Bring down the walls: Invite parents and community into the classroom Learning is not something that happens in a box room between certain hours of the day
- Facebook has more users today than the Internet had users in the year 2000. More video was uploaded to YouTube in the last 2 months than all the major TV networks have produced in the last 60 years. The average American teenager sends over 2000 text messages each month. “the classroom is being left behind”
